Is there a possibility to make a distinction between "ability to handle" and "claims [as the default handler]"? As an outsider / random developer, I understand why Etoys should declare it can handle, say, text/html, but I don't understand why Etoys should be the default handler for text/html. Etoys isn't the default handler for clipboard / journal text/html mime-types, is it? Martin PS - When I try to open a text/htmltoys file from the Sugar clipboard (it's labeled as "Text", somewhat oddly), Browse is the first on the list. This seems good. Unfortunately when Browse starts it looks like the canvas's contents aren't repainting, but that's probably just my olpc-update issue.
